I'm on the look out for salon & nail shop spaces for lease in Lakeview and Wicker. If anyone notices any available storefronts, or knows anyone looking to have someone take over their lease, contact me!

Mr. Cullen established the theater and the restaurant. He had no health insurance when he had a costly stroke a few years ago. He's given immensely to theater as we know it in Chicago for decades. You can lose everything you build. This is a tragic story.

I've reviewed the published agendas of both the Zoning and the Housing committees from August 2014 through January 2015 and could find no mention of this address for a zoning change or any other city council or committee action. Because of the election, there will not be any city council...

The Estonian band Ewert and the Two Dragons will be making a stop at Schubas, 3159 N. Southport Ave. The indie folk band's lovely songs hold a surprising epic feeling that is a marvel to behold. This 18+ show starts at 8pm and tickets are $12 in advance, $15 at the door.

FedEx Office, currently located at 3524 N. Southport will be closing to make room for a new 12,000 square foot "Marquee Retail Space" on Southport Avenue. The current building will have a new facade like we currently see at the future Lou & Grey and Corridor Brewery building. The space will either be split in half with 6,000 square feet of retail, or combined as one giant 12,000 square foot retail space (much like Anthropologie, including a double-barrel truss roof).http://southportcorridorchicago.blogspot.com/2015/03/fedex-southport-out-new-development-in.html

I'm looking for daycare options for my 6 year old for this upcoming summer. I work from 8 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday. The Neighborhood Boys & Girls Club doesn't start until 8 am but I have to be at work by 8 am. I need to pick up as late as 6 pm on some days. Any suggestions/recommendations for high quality group childcare for a 6 year old in the area? Looking for entire summer, not just short summer camps. Thank you!

I'm a graduate student and reporter for the Medill News Service at Northwestern University. I am currently working on a story about the successes and challenges of being the parent of a transgendered child. I am looking for a parent (and if possible their transgendered child) who would be willing to speak with me about their life experiences. The story would be composed of a 400-600 word article and a 2 minute video piece. So ideally, I would like to...

I'm a graduate student and reporter for the Medill News Service at Northwestern University. I am currently working on a story about the successes and challenges of being the parent of a transgendered child. I am looking for a parent (and if possible their transgendered child) who would be willing to speak with me about their life experiences. The story would be composed of a 400-600 word article and a 2 minute video piece. So ideally, I would like to have you speak quickly to me on camera. It is possible to be on camera anonymously, although not preferred. The piece will be published on our website: http://news.medill.northwestern.edu/chicago/ and CanTV (the public access channel) for a day. If you are interested or know someone who may be a good contact, I would very much appreciate a message back. Thanks, Julie

Julie, a good friend of mine is willing to speak with you. You didn't leave a phone number for her to call you, but she has said I may share her email address with you so you can contact her. kfgrobman@live.com

Yesterday I found a ring in the middle of the street on the intersection of Clark & Diversy. This seems to be a wedding ring & would like to return it to its rightful owner. I know this is a long shot, but I figured I'd try anyway. I'm not going to post a pic of it but if you recently lost your ring and believe it is yours please send me a private message with a detailed description or better yet a pic. Feel free to forward this.

...that earring, along with plenty of other delicate bijoux, just landed at Krista K Boutique (3458 N. Southport Ave., kristak.com), straight from the Riviera Collection of Lana Jewelry. Those particular earrings are called...

At Water Tower Place (835 N. Michigan Ave., shopwatertower.com), The Limited is throwing a buy-one-get-one-half-off sale on full-priced items, now until Friday. It’s a great time to stock up on crisp white shirts. (You know you need more.)

I've heard that Chicago police officers and detectives will do ride-alongs for civilians but I cannot find any information on the City of Chicago police department website. Has anyone ever done this or know who to contact? Thank you!

Go to your local police station. In college I took some criminal justice courses and for one of them a requirement was to do a police ride along. Some places allow it, others don't. Go to your local station and ask them there.

I have a 2007 new build (the standard issue brick rectangle) with a flat roof (that has what I believe is the original aluminum coating on the roof). I have started getting estimates for the application of a new layer of aluminum coating on the roof and the estimates ($1200+) strike me as a bit high for what I understand the service to entail (broom clean and application of one coat of aluminum coating). I would greatly appreciate thoughts on (1) how much this service should cost (Angie's List is not helping me here) and/or (2) whether most people just do this themselves. Thanks in advance!

You can factor it'll cost around $.60-$.80 per/sf. If your roof is 1500 square feet for example then it'll cost somewhere around $900-$1200 if you hire a pro. You can do it yourself. Home depot sells a good one called Henry Fibre Aluminum Roof coating. You can probably get it done for half the cost, just be careful up on the roof of course.

what I meant by "now open" is that the landlord appeared to be keeping the space un-rented - most likely during the bankruptcy hearings to see if they would be getting any of the unpaid rent. My guess is the rent was done as a lump sum payable in monthly installments - that can help to get your money owed when a commercial tenant leaves - but in these kinds of situations smaller debts go unpaid and by the sounds of it most of their debt went unpaid.

Looks like Bake 425 isn't coming to Andersonville either - so basically they bought some intellectual property and kept any would be competitors from purchasing what was left of the company.... ?
